Well at least we get some games. Last year was great so many games so many venues and had fun watching some quality soccer in the middle of the summer.

I'll go to the Ginats stadium game.

Circle July 28th, 2005 on your calanders ... Chelsea FC vs DC United
Not that Chicago Fire vs. AC Milan is not important, BUT ...

Champions of The EPL vs Champions of MLS. Pre-season, though it may be for the boys in Blue, the game will mean a great deal to US, the fans of American football and apparently to ESPN because they are slated to broadcast the match.

Real Madrid also coming ... to play Chivas ... No the real one from Guadalajara, and the Galaxy, in Carson.
